While this is a great overview of FIP, it was written in 2005 when the latest treatment options and antivirals were not yet available
EveryCat Health Foundation has some great research updates and summaries on FIP
iCatCare has an amazing document outlining the treatments available for FIP, their contraindications, side effects, costs and recommended schedules as well as covering a few FAQs on FIP treatment. It was updated in July 2025. https://icatcare.org/resources/icatcare_fipupdate_july25.pdf

Money and financial knowledge are central to life in general, not just as a vet, yet it’s something most people are never properly taught how to manage or even feel confident talking about.
In this episode of Current Vet, Dr. Lottie is joined by Dr. Alice Barker (@thisvetcan), a qualified vet and financial expert, to break down everything vet students and new grads need to know about money. From salaries and negotiation to budgeting, debt, investing, and pensions, this episode is designed to make finances feel clearer, calmer, and far less intimidating.
This episode is for educational purposes only and does not constitute personalised financial advice. Everyone’s financial situation, goals, and circumstances are different. The information shared is intended to improve general understanding and confidence around money, not to provide a personal financial plan.

Zoo and wildlife medicine is one of the most competitive and idealised areas of veterinary practice. From the outside, it’s dramatic, exciting, and very different from other veterinary careers. But what is the reality?
In this episode, Dr Lottie is joined by Dr Noi Psaroudaki, a zoo and wildlife veterinarian, to explore what zoo medicine actually involves and how the role differs from more traditional areas of veterinary practice.
Together, Dr Lottie and Dr Noi discuss not only the clinical aspects of the job, but also the ethical, emotional, and practical challenges that come with working in zoos and wildlife settings.
Dr Noi shares reflections from her own career, including cases that have shaped her approach to zoo med, the pressures that come with public scrutiny, and why zoo medicine is rarely what people expect when they first consider the field.
This episode is wonderful for veterinary students, new graduates, and vets who are curious about zoo or wildlife medicine, as well as anyone wanting to learn more about this non-traditional area of vet med!
